Following World War I, red poppies flourished on the battlefields, symbolizing sacrifice and renewal. Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields” inspired remembrance efforts, leading to the Royal British Legion adopting the poppy in 1921. Each November, wearing poppies honors those who sacrificed for freedom.
